He found the 3d files on Etsy, and sent them to me. There was about 40 files. The seller provided some instructions, but they are a bit lacking. Some files need multiple copies, some needed slicer mods… So, it has been fun figuring out what to do for assembly.
My boys would love it if I could build things like you do. We made our first light sabers from parts from the local hardware store. I am busy with a house move, so everything is packed but I will try to post pictures in a week or two when our lightsabers re-appear !
It looks kinda like the game, but as you can see I had trouble around corners where it would just wrinkle. That’s where vacuuforming would have been really great!
I still think it looks good for what it is and still plan on going forward with it. I will make it removable with magnets, in case of visibility issues (or if he hates it, lol)
Hey Nathan, just a heads up, images hosted on this site consume valuable space that could simply be offloaded elsewhere instead if you use a hosting service instead of directly uploading here.
I like to use https://postimages.org/
Just drag your image to that home page, then click the little “copy” icon to the right of the “Hotlink for Forums” link, and paste that in your post rather than actually uploading here.
BZZT
This is wrong. Please post images here. Hosting them elsewhere will almost certainly cause them to become dead links at some point.
I just don’t want people to post screenshots, or photos of screens.
EDIT: Please don’t post your entire photo collection, some moderation is appreciated.
Wow, ok, sorry for the misinformation.
I mean… it does use space, and offloading does not, so I wasn’t wrong for what I said.
But the inevitability for hosting sites to kick the proverbial Photobucket is not something I had considered.
